In a recent incident in Chandigarh, a traffic policeman, who had attempted to stop a youth driving a luxury car while talking on his mobile phone, had to fight for his life after the motorist sped away with the policeman on the bonnet of the vehicle.

Traffic constable Davinder Singh suffered injuries after he was dragged on the bonnet of the car for around 500 meters from Matka Chowk to the light point of sectors 9 and 10 on Sunday night. Singh finally fell off the car.

The incident took place when Mohali resident Aftab Singh tried to flee after the constable signalled him to stop the car.

The police control room (PCR) van chased the accused and arrested Aftab and his friend, identified as Karambir Singh. They have been charged with attempt to murder.

The injured Singh was rushed to the Government Multi-Speciality Hospital in Sector 16.
